Washington D.C. Jan 1861 I have been thinking of the past and how things have changed since we were children. It seems like a lifetime ago. I have a perfect recollection of the following circumstances viz the day that came into the hut on the day that the report was being getting his clothing in readiness to go on a command to Cheyenne and to bring him if he could any of his father's family who resided near Cheyenne to inform them of his father's death. He never heard more news of his father's death until the summer of 1861. From that time on he was not seen again until the day of the battle of Gettysburg when he was killed.
Yours sincerely J. M. [illegible]
